A home run is a wire that graphically

represents the wiring of a circuit to a
central location that acts as the
distributionpoint for the power,
typically, a panel. You do not need
to connect the home run to the
panel.
2. Feeders

In electric power distribution,

Feeder is "voltage power line
transferring power from a
distribution substation to the
distribution transformers" In an
electrical wiring circuit in a building
which Feeder is a "wire/line that
carries power from a transformer or
switch gear to a distribution panel."
3. Service Entrance Conductor

Service entrance conductors (aka,

"service feed wire") run from the
weather-head
(exterior point of attachment) from
the utility pole to the electric panel
(usually the circuit breaker box). For
most homes, the service entrance
conductor will be located on or near
the roof and tie into the overhead
electrical lines.

4. Branch Circuits

A branch circuit is defined as that

part of an electric circuit extending
beyond the last circuit breaker or
fuse. The branch circuits start at the
breaker box and extend to the
electrical devices connected to the
service. Branch circuits are the last
part of the circuit supplying
electrical devices. These circuits are
classified in two different ways,
according to the type of loads they
serve or according to their
currentcarrying capacity.
5. Multi-wire Branch Circuit

A Multi-wire Branch Circuit (in the

electrical code) is defined as a
branch circuit that consists of two or
more ungrounded conductors (two
or more "hot" wires) that have a
voltage between them (they are not
on the same electrical phase and so
are connected to different buses in
the electrical panel), and a
grounded conductor (the neutral
wire) that has equal voltage
between it and each ungrounded
conductor (hot wire) of the circuit
and that is connected to the neutral
or grounded conductor of the
system.
A. Describe the detail of the
following voltage range

1) 5 volts to 24 volts or under 50

volts- are low voltages commonly
used in lighting control system or
energy management
systems in signaling stuffs to turn on
or off but it is rarely used. 12V are
used in LED drivers and it is a fairly
common low voltage. 16V are used
in doorbell transformers. 24V are
the common in a lot of LED lighting,
and equipment for small signaling.
These voltages can be AC, DC or
both.

2) 100 volts to 250 volts- can be in

single phase or three phase. In
single phase, systems that

15

1 are 120/240 can run on motors

and machinery. Three phase has
two configurations the wye

.16. configuration and thedelta

configuration. Delta configuration
has more torque and more neutral.

.17. Each one of the coil inside or

each of the windings inside are run
end-to-end. In Wye

configuration the centers of every

single one of the coils meet up.

3) 277 volts to 600 volts- are in

higher potential. 277V is similar to
120V but in a higher

voltage where there is hot to

neutral. 480V is same as 240V,
277V is same as 120V but in a
1.20 much higher potential. 347V
goes from hot to neutral and 600V
is the line to line (hot to hot). 21.

B. Voltage varies in different

country, say 110 volts -127 volts and
others are 220 volts 240 volts. Why
this happen?

O The reason for different voltages

around the world goes all the way
back to the beginning when
electricity first started being
distributed. At first, there was no
standardization, so each distribution
network had its own voltage and
frequency for whatever their
engineers felt was best. Eventually,
overtime some companies grew and
dominated the market, and so
voltage and frequency standardized
as their product and services
expanded.
